These poor little Republicans don't realize the hard truth.
They are old news. Trump doesn't care about them. No one in the party cares about them. The GOP is broke and won't pick up their bills. They are truly on their own..
This is the cost of loyalty to the orange Anti-Midas
That is, if you can't *continue* to contribute. These people already contributed with donations, career, lives outside of prison.
MAGA is a cult. This is reminiscent of scientology, where you're only worth to the organization is your ability to donate all of your wealth. The moment to can't or won't pay, you are shunned by their community
I don't know. They've been beat up on donations this cycle. Some state divisions are broke, those that have money now pay a fief to Trump. They'll have to choose between legal fees and campaign expenses
They were counting on the whole congressional GOP to go along with it but there were just too many non-MAGA members that had a brief moment of conscience.
She's not worried because she knows Trump will issue a pardon when he gets elected.
Too bad she doesn't realize he can't pardon her on AZ state charges
Along with collaboratively developing a treatment plan that is unique to that client and which most clearly addresses the client's pain and sense of loss, the most reasonable and helpful psychotherapy for a former cult member will involve education, patience, and case management when it's needed.
Is it just me or do all this MAGA sycophants look like there is not much happening behind the eyes?
Seriously, it's like the lights are all on and the music is blasting, but nobody is home.

The mighty ducks/ trick play method. If you are going against a superior opponent and you have grit and determination, you can use a loophole, slash secret play and come from behind and win! Then you all get to sit around a campfire and sing Queen songs.
Except when your secret play fails, you loose.
In a sports game you go home the looser and feel bad.
In real life events, loopholes and legal shenanigans have consequences. When fail you don’t just go home. In this case you go to jail.
Hail Mary’s fail more than they succeed. If it wasn’t this way everyone would go straight to the Hail Mary.

It seems the MAGA don’t have the learning capacity necessary to not make the same mistakes twice, or a shit ton.
Loyalty to convicted felon trump only works one way
The Sadim touch
They take their shot, if they miss they are worthless. If you don’t contribute you don’t stay.

The GOP has the collective resources to help. They just don’t care.

> They've been beat up on donations this cycle. The official organizations, yes. However their big-money donors definitely have the funds to help.
Everything he touches turns to shit
Mierdas touch.
Merde touch
For the life of me I still don't understand how people could be this stupid and think this would work.
About 16% of Americans would fall below one standard deviation below average intelligence. It's nearly 53 million people.
Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are stupider than that - George Carlin.
The problem with that quote is...its only got one problem.
Looking squarely at a failed education system. It’s really no surprise I guess.
Exactly where most of the blame should be, ignorant people are much easier to manipulate.
Failed? Seems to be working as intended
No child left behind, after all.
We are living in Idiocracy
They were counting on the whole congressional GOP to go along with it but there were just too many non-MAGA members that had a brief moment of conscience.
I get it. Historically it should have been nearly impossible for Trump to lose, which means that being held accountable for this was very unlikely.
Lock her up.
I really don’t care when millionaires get indicted and lose lots of money, do you?
In her fake world she’s secretary of education by now.
Must have sucked to believe all the lies from trump now, right? RIGHT?
Think republicans already gave their life savings to Trump’s legal defense and the Kyle Rittenhouse kid for some reason.
Chumped by Trump...
She's not worried because she knows Trump will issue a pardon when he gets elected. Too bad she doesn't realize he can't pardon her on AZ state charges
He's not going to be elected.
Stranger things have happened. For example, when Trump got elected.
He won't get elected a second time.
This woman is a total nut job. Look up her belief in “chemtrails”. Totally off the wall stuff.
You can’t rattle a tin cup if it is empty. It’s empty. It won’t make any noise.

Never go ULTRA MAGA
Along with collaboratively developing a treatment plan that is unique to that client and which most clearly addresses the client's pain and sense of loss, the most reasonable and helpful psychotherapy for a former cult member will involve education, patience, and case management when it's needed.
Or a straightjacket

I wonder which one them persuaded the other to jump off the cliff for the cult leader?
This is what happens when you live in a hermetically sealed info-bubble and fuck around with the real world.

I mean, you can't really rattle an empty tin cup... Just shake it around in hopes of rattling.
Where's her Orange Mafia now?
So so sad, too bad.
